McDonald's Announces Primary Sponsorship For Team Rensi Busch Series Team
Keller Named To Drive Golden Arches Entry

OAK BROOK, Ill. (Jan. 12, 2005) -- McDonald's announced today it
has entered into a multi-year agreement with Team Rensi as a primary
sponsor of the team's entry in theNASCAR Busch Series.

The No. 35 McDonald's Ford Taurus will be driven by veteran Jason
Keller, who was recently named by Team Rensi to pilot the red, black and
yellow Golden Arches machine beginning with the 2005 season.

"Like McDonald's, Team Rensi and Jason Keller have been performance
leaders in their industry and we are thrilled to be part of this
association," said John Lewicki, McDonald's senior director of alliance
marketing. "Race fans are McDonald's customers and we look forward to
showcasing the Golden Arches in a relevant way with one of the
pre-eminent teams in the NASCAR Busch Series."

Ed Rensi, chairman and founder of Team Rensi Motorsports, was excited
about adding a high-profiled sponsor and driver to an already successful
Busch Series operation.

"The Golden Arches is a global icon and we are honored to be part of
McDonald's marketing alliance program," said Rensi, who along
with his brother, Sam, founded Team Rensi Motorsports in 1996.
"McDonald's is all about performing with excellence and I feel
Team Rensi and driver Jason Keller will deliver the results."

Team Rensi Motorsports, which also fields the No. 25 Marines Ford, driven
by Ashton Lewis, has five career wins and has posted three top-10
finishes in the owner's point season standings since joining the
Busch Series in 1998. The day-to-day operation of the race team is
overseen by Sam Rensi, who is the team's president and chief
executive officer.

Keller, a 34-year-old native of Greenville, S.C., has enjoyed a
successful career as one of the top drivers in the Busch Series. He
finished in the top-10 in the season standings the past five years and
seven of the last nine. His best point finish was second -- in both
2000 and 2002.

"This is a great opportunity and I am looking forward to being part
of a solid operation with Team Rensi and having an association with a
legendary company in McDonald's," said Keller. "I've been
affiliated with excellent sponsors in the past, but having McDonald's
is special. This is the most excited my two children (Joe and Jade) have
been about a sponsor and I'm lovin' it."

Keller's Busch Series career record includes 356 starts, 10 wins, 79
top fives, 151 top 10s, 11 poles and career earnings of more than $9
million. He joined the Busch Series full time in 1994.

Last year as a member of the ppc Racing team, Keller finished sixth in
the final point standings and recorded six top-five and 12 top-10
finishes.

The first race for Keller and the McDonald's Ford will be the Busch
Series opener -- Feb. 19 at Daytona International Speedway.
